    All I hear every week is we have areas to work on, some individuals need to work harder and we'll go back to work on Monday. EVERY WEEK. Don't name names Macca but what are those individuals working on? What areas are we currently working on as a club? What will be the key issues we look at when you get to work on Monday? These small video grabs etc. are all supporters / paid up members have to work with. Is being a bit more open about this stuff really secret squirrel stuff? Will it reveal and unravel our game plan to all opposition analysts? I find this hard to believe.

    Macca needs to say something to the members outside of the padding he is producing which is nothing more than the party line. Let us know where we really need to improve Macca - no-one is listening other than our members Macca remember we are irrelevant.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        The best statement is to drop a few senior players.
        Rant and Raving doesn't happen anymore, and the best statement is to drop senior players not performing.

            Not having a shot at you 1eye, I hear this a lot and I was saying something similar on Saturday night at the footy. Macca doesn't have to say a thing about specifics in his press conference's. He always states were we broke down and it's always spot on (Fixing it is worrying). If he comes out and says this guy didn't do this, this guy wasn't switched on people would be jumping on him for bagging players in the public eye. He's dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't.

            This weeks PC and the radio shows he was on Sunday morning he was a lot more open. They're worth a listen if anyone gets a chance.

                Exactly, potting players publicly went the way of the dodo bird.

                    Agree. Messages need to be sent through the team selection and not just the usual suspects (apart from Howard). I was really disappointed with our team selection last week and picked against us when I saw it.

                        I specifically said in my post that he shouldn't name players but I get your drift G-Mo77 - I'm just a bit miffed at the moment and I'm looking for a crutch to help me hobble along.

                                I'm still hiding under the same table I hid under halfway through the second quarter on Saturday night.

                                    The team plays the way Macca presents himself to the public. Boring and monotonous. No flair or excitement and just a continual focus on hard work followed by more hard work.

                                        Have a listen to Macca's interview on MMM if you haven't already. Wayne Carey (i think) asked him when you get in Monday morning, what part of the game exactly have you been working on the last few weeks.

                                                We haven't played a single side who just presented their throats to us. Everyone has turned up to play.

                                                    If we are waiting for that we are in big big trouble. We have had an easy draw, it really is that simple.

                                                            We don't have the talent to afford any kind of lapse or fundamental skill errors when not under immense pressure. If we play 100% honest footy we do ok.
                                                            All this fumbling out of the backline and dicking about with handballs is a recipe for disaster.
                                                            I can see what Brendan wants but he hasn't go the blokes to implement it.
                                                            You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― Epicurus
